A St Petersburg court has sentenced a 19-year-old woman to nearly three years in a penal colony after she was accused of repeatedly “discrediting” the Russian army, including by gluing a quotation on a statue of a Ukrainian poet.
Darya Kozyreva was sentenced to two years and eight months, the Joint Press Service of Courts in St. Petersburg said in statement Friday.
Kozyreva was arrested on February 24, 2024, after she glued a verse by Ukrainian poet Taras Shevchenko onto his monument in St Petersburg, according to OVD-Info, an independent Russian human rights group.
3 years might become 10, there’s such thing as a “carousel prosecution” in Russia: your sentence ends, you are ready to leave and get another one for some nonsense; rinse and repeat.
I hope this girl is not that important tho.
That’s if she survives the next 3 years
